Active Network Access Filters
table on the
Network Filters
page displays
currently defined filters. These filters control if access to the NSS from specified
hosts is granted or denied on a per-protocol basis. Each device in your network is
assigned a fixed 48-bit MAC address and changeable 32-bit IP address. When
you define a filter, it grants or denies access through the specified protocol from
the specified IP/MAC address or range of IP addresses.
